February 2012 Book List

This is the time of year to show the ones you love just how much you love them. Create Valentine’s card, give a box of chocolates or give a kid a book. Reading is fundamental and is something that all children love to do. Don’t forget that it is Black History Month also and is a good time to sit down and review some important events in history.
